Chapter 667: Decorating a New Home
Chapter 667
Yaoqin twisted her brows unhappily, and planned to turn around to avoid Ya'er, but as soon as she took a step of her legs, she was called by Ya'er's sentence "Sister Yaoqin", thinking about whether she wanted to continue to serve Erfu together, and she was not good in front of the strange palace maids in the courtyard, which was too much of Ya'er's face.

"You called me something?" asked Yaoqin in a low voice as she watched Ya'er approach.
Ya'er stopped two steps away from Yaoqin, bowed slightly, and choked with red circles in her eyes: "Sister doesn't like me, right!"
Actually, I don't like to do such a thing myself, but when I think of my family, brothers and sisters suffering on the frontier, and when I think of my elderly grandfather and grandmother dying so tragically on the way to exile, my heart is as uncomfortable as thousands of ants gnawing.
It is rare for the master to sympathize with me and be willing to believe me, even if I have no conscience, I will never hurt the master......
My sister will believe me this time, let's serve the master well!" After speaking, the girl bowed again, looking at Yaoqin in a black-faced state with pleading eyes, as if she hoped to hear a half-sentence of understanding from Yaoqin's mouth.
Yaoqin is a cold-hearted person, although she is very steady on weekdays, she refuses to say half a word of nonsense, she can be used to describe her daily words and deeds, but she is a person who can't see tears. ā
"Sister......
When Ya'er heard this, her eyes turned red again, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Yaoqin waved her hand, interrupting her words, Yaoqin pursed her lips and smiled, twisted the handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, and continued: "I am not a person who is very easy to believe in people's character, the master is willing to believe your confession, that is your blessing, but what I value more is how you do it, and I am not afraid to tell me, I will always keep an eye on you, as long as I find that there is something wrong with you, I will tell the master as soon as possible, and I expect me to hide it for you. Hidden. ā
After saying that, Yaoqin turned around and left under the pretext that she still had something to do.
A pair of slender jade hands under the sleeves of the girl who was left in place had already clenched into fists, secretly cheering herself on, as early as when she and Erfu were telling the truth, she had already expected this situation, and even planned for a worse situation, what kind of thing is this little sour talk!
Thinking about it, she regained her spirits, raised her hand to straighten the slightly wrinkled robe, straightened the broken hair that was blown away by the wind in her ears, and walked to the upper room with a light smile on the corner of her mouth.
In the upper room, Erfu was half-asleep and half-awake on the kang, waiting for the little shengzi to bring food over, heard the footsteps of the girl, only flirted her eyelids and lay back again, found a more comfortable position, and murmured: "Bring the quilt over and put it on my body, I will squint for a while, and call me when the little shengzi is ready!" After speaking, her head rubbed on the soft pillow, found a more comfortable position, took another soft pillow into her arms and fell asleep again.
She slept very deeply, and snored slightly, thinking that she was tired on the road, and when she was woken up softly by the girl again, she only felt that her eyes were very astringent, and it took a lot of effort to open them, and she found that it was completely dark outside the window, and the palace lamps in the room had been lit.
"Master, get up and make up for your food, and then lie down and sleep, how uncomfortable it is to be like this!" said softly as she took the robe from the hanger and put it on for Erfu.
Erfu rubbed her sleepy eyes, nodded as if sleepwalking, pointed to the white porcelain stew pot on the table, pursed her lips a little dry, muttered softly, and then elbowed the small kang table again, and closed her eyes with one hand on her cheek, "Give me a bowl of porridge, leave me the snacks, and the dish will be rewarded to you, and I won't get up, so as not to be sleepy, but I can't sleep all night." ā
The sweet and hot porridge was delicious, and Erfu's appetite was a little hungry, and the two plates of small pickles brought by Yaoqin were eaten so fragrantly, and he drank most of the red date and longan porridge in a stewed cup, and then he rubbed his slightly bulging little belly, endured the discomfort in his heart, avoided Ya'er and Yaoqin, and in the screen of the outhouse, in the small gap next to the big stove, he barely solved his physiological needs, and then he returned to the small space of the kang head hanging with the curtain, and slept with a snoring while pulling the quilt.
Nothing to say all night......
At dawn the next day, Erfu, who had slept comfortably and well, stretched her waist and sat up, looked at the room that was not very familiar, pulled away the long hair scattered behind her, climbed to the side of the kang with little flexibility, and let Ya'er and Yaoqin put on her shoes left and right, and stood up.
The layout of the rooms in this annex is really awkward to look at.
But this hot kang lived, it was really very relieving, she felt cold and hard back for the past few days, and suddenly softened, and even the sore shoulders sitting in the carriage were better, not to mention how comfortable.
"Master, where are you going, but you want the slave and maid to follow and serve!" Erfu, who was neatly dressed, walked out without even eating breakfast, and Yaoqin, who was making the mattress on the side, said busily.
"No need, you guys clean up!"
Erph said that she urgently needed the row of houses on the side of the yard to find a room close enough to the upper room, and not too lame, and ordered someone to arrange it into a clean room, this Gong bucket was placed in the room, or every time it was convenient, someone had to send the Gong bucket in, she really couldn't adapt to it, especially this big room was empty, and it was impossible to put a screen to block it, blocking Ya'er and Yaoqin's convenience, it was too much of a test of her bottom line.
Thinking of this, she sighed again, yesterday, if she wasn't too lazy to move, and couldn't find a good way to solve this matter for a while, she really couldn't do something convenient in the room, now thinking about it, she still felt blushing and ashamed.
To say that this courtyard is really spacious, the left and right rooms are added together, there are twenty small rooms, but each has its own use, for a time it is really difficult to find an empty room, fortunately the identity of Erfu is there, it is really enough to bluff, she called a small palace maid who looks more eye-catching, turned around along the path in front of the house, chose a relatively empty room, and ordered someone to open the door.
"What is all this, why is it all piled up here?" asked Erph, holding her nose with a handkerchief, as she walked into the musty-smelling room, looking at the dusty furniture on the wall.
"Back to the side of Fujin, these are some of the furniture and furnishings that have been used in the courtyard for a long time, originally placed in the upper room, this time in order to welcome the side of Fujin to come to live for a while, the housekeeper Mama asked people to bring new furniture from the library to replace, these have not had time to send back to the library, so they are piled up here. Although the little palace maid is not too clever, she is also a person who understands the rules, and she hurriedly bowed and replied respectfully.
When Erfu heard this, she was overjoyed, these things were sent back to the library, so this room would not be vacant, she looked at the big kang by the window again, measured the length and width of the room with steps, nodded with a smile, turned around and returned to the upper room, and ordered the girl to invite Mama Gui and Mama Xiaoyun, who took care of the trivial affairs in the house, to come over after dinner, and planned to prepare the clean room as soon as possible.
After a warm and delicious breakfast, Mama Gui and Mama Xiaoyun had already come to the courtyard, Erfu took a sip of hot tea, moistened her throat, and ordered Yaoqin to lead the little palace maid to remove the food on the table, while lowering her head and straightening her body, she sat upright, "Let them come in!"
As soon as Erfu's voice fell, Mama Gui and Mama Xiaoyun came in with Ya'er.
After some pleasantries, Erfu talked about her plans, and at the same time ordered Yaoqin to send the silver money needed to set up the clean room to Mama Gui, and said, "Two Mammas, look, is this silver enough?"
"Fang Fujin is polite. Mama Gui glanced at the silver ingots on the tray and said respectfully.
Erfu smiled and waved his hand, and then said: "This matter, in the end, is my private matter, and it is not good to let the public pay for it, but I am a lady in the house, and it is really difficult for me to come forward in person, so I can only trouble the two grandmothers to worry more." ā
After speaking, he asked Yaoqin to send the tray full of silver ingots to Mama Gui.
Rebuilding a clean room is nothing more than moving the furniture out of the room, then removing the kang in the room, and then rearranging a circle of fire walls, paving the floor with bluestone carved with anti-skid lines, and finally painting it again, a few dozen taels of silver is enough, and the manpower in the house is also ready-made, but Erfu took out a full hundred taels of silver, which is simply the fat sent to the mouths of Mama Gui and Mama Xiaoyun, and the two will not object.
This matter was settled so easily, and before Erfu sent Yaoqin to send the two away, Zhang Bao, who came from Beijing with Erfu, came over to say goodbye.
"I still have something to do here, so I won't leave the two grandmothers to talk, and invite the two grandmothers to come over for tea another day. As she spoke, Erfu asked Ya'er to give two purses with silver horns as a reward, and took a sip of the tea bowl.
The two of them greeted each other with a series of polite voices, and greeted Zhang Bao who was standing under the porch, and then turned around and left the courtyard where Erfu lived, and Zhang Bao followed the Yaoqin who came out and went directly into the room to greet Erfu.
Erfu looked at Father-in-law Zhang Bao, who was standing by the door a little stiffly after seeing the ceremony, pointed to the embroidered pier placed on the head, and motioned for Zhang Bao to sit down and speak, "Father-in-law Zhang, you are coming here, but what is the big urgency?"
"Side Fu Jin Mingjian.
You went out of Beijing this time, the master has specially explained, let you send a letter back when you arrive, the slave came to ask the side Fujin can have anything to say to the master, and the slave also arranged for someone to send back through the post station. Zhang Bao arched his hand and sat down, but he didn't dare to sit down and replied respectfully.
Hearing this, Erfu nodded with a smile, turned his head to look at Yaoqin, then at Zhang Bao, and said softly: "I may have to trouble Zhang Bao's father-in-law and wait, I will write a letter to you and bring it back." After speaking, she instructed Yaoqin to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the West House, and invited Zhang Bao to drink tea here and wait for a while, then got up and walked to the West House.
And Yaoqin finished the ink and quit Westinghouse.
In the empty room, on the ground against the mess of household furnishings and unopened cages, Erph held a brush dipped in ink, but did not know what to write, after a long time, lost the paper balls all over the ground, and finally wrote a letter with two pieces of paper, and she ordered Yaoqin to light half of the red candle in the corner, carefully seal it with vermilion lacquer, and write on the envelope. The fourth master personally opened the four big characters, and from the cage, he found a bottle of rose dew that she was used to and sprinkled it on the envelope, leaving a faint fragrance, and then pinched the letter and returned to the east room.
In the east room, Zhang Bao had already drunk all the tea, and when he saw Erfu coming, he hurriedly got up and greeted him.
This letter will trouble Gonggong Zhang to send back to Beijing. Erfu smiled and raised his hand to suppress it, handed the letter to Zhang Bao, and said softly, "There is one more thing, I still have to trouble you, you see that when I went out of Beijing, there were Yaoqin and Ya'er around me, and there were really not enough manpower, but I rashly left people who didn't know the details by my side, and I really didn't have a bottom in my heart, so I have to trouble you to help me choose a few innocent little palace maids to come over." ā
"Side Fujin rest assured, this matter, the slave knows in his heart, and he will let people send the booklet over in a while. "This matter was ordered by the fourth master a long time ago, as soon as Zhang Bao arrived at the other courtyard, he had already selected all the candidates, even if Erfu didn't mention it today, he planned to do it, but as soon as Erfu opened his mouth like this, he made a good profit, no wonder the corners of his mouth were raised.
Erfu said some trivial things in the courtyard again, and seeing that the sun was a little high, she asked Yaoqin to send Zhang Bao out of the room, led the girl to the West House, and sorted out the unopened cages.
This time, because I came to the other courtyard to reflect on my mistakes, Erfu didn't know how long I wanted to live in the other courtyard, so I prepared a lot of luggage, and almost moved half of my belongings over, up to the big cabinet with red hollow carved Baizi baby play, the tall red coral bonsai, the palm-sized white jade mountain, and the gilded soup woman used in winter, the hollow filigree hand stove, The shoes and socks that have never been worn can be said to have everything, but now there are many of them that are not needed, such as all kinds of delicate ornaments that are placed on Duobaoge to add face, so she can't stop sighing while tidying up, I knew that this was the case, and I didn't bring these things over, which added a lot of cumbersomeness.
"Let people pack up the enclosure and make two storerooms, which can't always be piled up on the Westinghouse side. Thinking of this, Erf wrapped some unused ornaments in cotton felt, put them back in the cage, and turned to the girl and commanded.
